Puyango Petrified Forest Private Tour
Puyango Petrified Forest Private Tour
We'll meet at 8 am at Francisco Bolognesi Park and head towards the Aguas Verdes district, located on the border between Peru and Ecuador.
Once in the neighboring country, we'll cross the cocoa and banana plantations of the province of El Oro until we reach the petrified forest of Puyango, a site of great world importance. Upon arrival, we'll start a walk among its trees of more than 20 meters high, admiring the Mesozoic trunks and leaves.
Did you know that millions of years ago this place was a sea that ended up drying up? We'll learn about the origin of this amazing forest that houses paleontological remains of plants and invertebrates, some of which are 500 million years old!
After the tour of Puyango, we'll leave the reserve and head to the Jurassic Park of Las Lajas, where we'll stop to eat a typical dish of the area and explore the place.
Finally, we'll cross the border again and arrive in Tumbes 8-10 hours after pickup.
